This is what I have:



The filler bits are where I've corrected the deformation of the sides.

Looking back at yours; on the back corner there's a radiused point out.  In the non-carbon seats this is a metal load spreader inside the laminate.  The seat needs the threads for the mounting bolts to be in this bit to pass scruitineering.


I didn't understand your last statement.

Are you going to make a mould of your seat?
If so, how are planning to regarding the "bended" edge of the seat?

By the way, with a heat gun the metal plates/fixings came off very easily.

My plan was to take a mould from it.  I would mould from the inside though.  The problem with this seat is that it had been deformed (the sides had been pulled in which would mean a mechanical lock).  I cut a bit out and straightened it up, hence all the filler and made it fit the subframes for my car (VX220).  My level of arsedness has wained slightly so its still as you see it in that picture.

WRT the lip round the edge I had planned on thickening it slightly but given that I'd mould from the inside it'd be fairly straightforward in my eyes.
